Reviews For Crab King Cajun Boil & Bar

We visited Crab King Cajun Boil & Bar with my husband and son, and it was such a great experience! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavor — we tried the crab legs, shrimp, and mussels, and everything was cooked perfectly. The Cajun seasoning was just the right amount of spicy and rich. The service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was lively but family-friendly. Our son had a blast cracking open the crab with the tools — fun and delicious! We’ll definitely be back again.

The waitress was doing everything on 3/24 at 1pm I applaud her. We just picked a random place and ended up there. The food was excellent, I will be back.

Happy Valentine’s at this restaurant with my family after 2 hours of reservations. We order double. Seafoods are excellent. We choose mild spicy sauces. Bags of seafood pour in front of you. So delicious. Recommend to you to try. We will be back.

We came as a party of 10. We ordered 2 trays of build your own seafood with garlic butter and cajun spicy sauce. The seafood and sauces were super tasty! The calamari, fried oyster and French fries were delish as well. We finished our meal with fresh beignets. The attentive server gave us a great service! Had a great time!

How have I not had this experience sooner? Soon after ordering, two huge bags of seafood were brought to our table. We opted to get rid of the bag for ease of eating. There's also bibs and plenty of napkins- this is not a clean dining experience. From the shrimp to the crab to the corn, everything was amazing. I wanted to finish it all, but couldn't. The service was great and the place itself is pretty large. We'll definitely be back!

We had such a great experience at Crab King Cajun Boil & Bar! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We ordered the platter for four, and it was more than enough food for me, my boyfriend, and our two nephews. And trust me, those boys can eat! It was their first time trying a Cajun boil, and the staff was so patient and helpful in answering all of their questions. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the flavors were spot on. I also really loved the overall vibe of the restaurant. The decor and atmosphere made it feel fun, welcoming, and full of energy. You could tell a lot of thought went into creating a great dining experience. We’re already talking about coming back the next time we’re in the city. Highly recommend it to anyone craving flavorful seafood and a good time!

Delicious!!! The seafood boil was wonderful. Bibs/gloves/wipes make the experience fun. Appreciated being able to buy 2 hour parking from Best Western hotel for the Hawthorne Garage lot 12 for 2 hrs.
